black and oily pour, settles pitch dark with a small film brown head.
complex very strong aroma of well blended notes, namely, roasted malts, salt licorice, wood, cofffee, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, coconut. Very intense aroma but everything in it is smooth and velvety.
flavor is coffee, roasted malts, bourbon, wood, salty licorice. end is bitter from malts. not much hops going on that i can taste, but there might be some hidden, bitterness seems to be malts driven mainly. A dessert imp. stout to the slightly sweeter side, with some sweet chocolate like notes. There is a lot of complexity and it seems like the barrelling must have added layers and layers of flavors..

Aroma is dominated by a slightly herbal strong coffee aroma, the hebal note reminds me of chillies, also a bit of dry nutty malts in there.
Flavor is mild, watery, faint coffee, faint dark caramel. quite boring and the novelty of the coffee is not enough to make it interesting.
bottle bought in las palmas, gran canaria

bottle found in the fridge in the bar next to loom, "the best" las palmas.
Awesome saison aroma, hay, grass, yeast, flowers, spices, perfectly balanced, might be the best saison aroma i ever tried.
Flavor is very very dry, lots of yeasty notes, bretty notes, dough, low on flowers and spices, very bretty, very yeast-forward.
for me, a bit too bretty and yeasty - but seriously well done , very smooth.

clear amber, smooth beige head, looks awesome
ARoma is malty, slightly bready or buttery but really, really refined, alc. can clearly be sensed as a stingy sensation, apart from that, a quite complex barley wine with tons of energy.
Flavor is moderately boozy , barley wine, malts, sweet malts, nutty malts, faint wood, delicate, faint caramel. it's a very boozy sipper, but pretty complex in its apparent simplicity. still, i feel a bit like the beer could be more complex and less boozy with all the effort put in.

2011 version according to tap menu at mikkeller cph.
Tasted sep3 2025 from tap (crazy)
Cloudy yellow brown with a small white head
Yeast and old sljghtly oxidized hops and subtle fruity notes from. Yeast i think. Flavor is caramelly and yeasty and very complex fruity, parts of the flavors of red and sweet citrus fruits, but not the whole. Abv well hidden and very mellow and rounded compared to a younger stille nacht. Not sure i ever tasted one 14 years old. Certainly not from. Tap

Can
Clear golden, smooth white head
Aroma has a little sweet dough and a little flowers, flavor is about the same. White bready dough like flavor with a minute hint of flowers. Nearly no bitterness. Also fairly low on sweetness. Water is velvety and soft.

My can was Amber 1900 0,0,0 Triple Zero but very likely this is the correct entry.
clear dark yellow, white creamy head. looks quite good.
light malty aroma with very subtle grassy and flowery notes.
flavor is mild malty, mild cereral, mild faint aromatic hoppy balance.
not much flavor in this one.
